I've heard from a few of the groups who worked the Knox County
Fall Count today (28 Sept) and we've had some good finds.
Chuck Nicholson already posted about the Nelson's Sharp-tailed
Sparrow on Sharps Ridge.
Jean Alexander's group at the UT Plant Science Farm found the
second Knox County record of Brown-headed Nuthatch with 2-4
birds in the pines past the orchard. Incidently, after having
the first record of this species on last year's Knoxville
Chirstmas Count, there are now three known locations within
the count circle.
Other goodies at the UT Plant Science Farm included Peregrine
Falcon, Bald Eagle, Bobolinks, Wilson's Snipe and Marsh Wrens.
David Trently had 3 Philadelphia Vireos, Canada Warbler and
Lincoln's Sparrow at the Forks of the River WMA.
At our mid-day compilation lunch at the UT Trial Gardens, at
least 17 Broad-winged Hawks were seen kettling over Cherokee
Bluffs on the TN River right in downtown Knoxville.
The cold front really brought in some good birds. Hope
everyone to get out and see some.
